got my desire couple of days ago and the battery is terrible, ive had smartphones and my recent iphone and im lucky if i can get half out of this damn thing. even if i use it as a phone and leave everything off it wont last a full day without a charge. My sister has the X10 and the batttery life on that is fine so i think ill be going for a Sony, obviously the years of experience in creating phones paid off. sorry but im not a fan id give this phone 5 out of 10

anyone buying this phone be warned the battery is the worst of alsmot every smartphone out there, HTC need to adress this issue

    i dont know why gsmarena doesnt mention bad camera quality and no lack of secondary camera in the main disadvantages of desire but mension lack of xenon flash(even with very good camera quality) and lack of secondary camera in the main disadvantages of x10!
    gsmarena please tell the truth to people!

          hamid, 16 Apr 2010hey budy why you are so mad x10 with up to 2.1 has a 16 m... morethis is a comment from >.http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/28/xperia-x10-multitouch-issue-hardware-related/

          ''However, it now seems that multitouch is not in the cards. "There's no multitouch in X10 – and I also can confirm that it's not only related to [software] but also to [hardware]," said product manager Rikard Skogberg at the official company blog. If true, that means the X10 won't get multitouch even when rooted, much less a Nexus One or Milestone-like level of native, official multitouch support. ''
          Released by SE's product manager....get ur facts right SE boy

                Yes but you can't get a camera that makes calls, has wifi, 3G, massive 4 inch display slim device compared to camera, mp3 player, GPS, 1ghz snapdragon,135gm, Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, Proximity sensor for auto turn-off, Timescape/Mediascape UI, Scratch-resistant surface, Send messages, digital compass, cameras don't come in white as far as i know, Have android 1.6, play MP4/H.263/H.264/WMV/
                MP3/eAAC+/WMA/WAV the lists goes on!!!!! I would rather buy any smartphone than a camera, I have a mind that thinks about the future when it buys stuff, in the future i would guess that we would have 3 main screens for 1 person, small - mobile phone, medium- tablet pc, big - TV. but the only thing is, is that a pc will always be more powerful than any smartphone or tablet because its bigger and can fit more technology inside.

                  x10 with up to 2.1 has a 16 m colors dispaly and some guys says the black x10 has multi touch here
                  http://www.engadget.com/2010/0...get-android/
                  and camera is very important for many users
                  x10 design is beTter, desire design is very simple and boring
                  and if u read my comment i say x10 over desire
                  internal memory desire over x10 ram size
                  at the last x10 is better from desire
                  sony like no other

                      --> yes but the x10 has a tft 65k color display. the htc desire has more dpi (or ppi) and an amoled 16mil color display. it produces better images than x10. on the x10 even the blacks are blue tinted. the desire reproduces colors better. check out a comparison: http://www.gsmarena.com/showpic.php3?sImg=reviewsimg/htc-desire/review/phone/gsmarena_007.jpg

                      what good is a large screen when the quality of it is poor? it just makes it easier for ppl to notice its weaknesses.

                      "3. camera 8mp vs 5"
                      --> if u really wanted a good camera u wud buy a 12mpx cam phone. or another cam altogether.

                      "4.internal memory x10 is wins"
                      --> so wat? in ram htc wins, in upgradeable/external memory htc wins by double what x10 offers. if u do total memory possible, htc wins.

                        -->what about a phone with 65k colors, no multitouch, and last yrs OS. is that phone also a "jok"?

                        "sony make best smart phone x10 with exllent UI"
                        --> name 1 feature SE has on x10 which is more productive for the business oriented users.

                        "mediascap and timescape 8 mega oixel camera"
                        --> the htc equivalent of a ui which consists primarily of different shades of blue is called sense ui. it has more widgets and its less demanding on the processor.

                        "and very lovely big screen"
                        --> htc desire has more dpi (or ppi) and is amoled with 16mil colors for a more vibrant/crisp image. x10 is 65k colors, tft at a lower dpi. u cud get a bigger screen (4.3") with tft and 65k colors on the htc hd2 if u wanted.

                        "x10 is beter"
                        --> completely agree with u. "beter" is not an english word but in turkish it means "worse". htc desire is better.

                          i love both x10 and desire
                          actually i love both SE&HTC
                          but i am a bit disappointment for camera and video quality of desire and the battery performance is not good
                          but overall steel desire is one of the best phones for now

                            Jay, 16 Apr 2010Need to get something clarify before i buy a Android phone.... moreu cud use something called root which is like the android equivalent of jailbreaking. google will eventually allow users to automatically save to sd card. currently u hv 2 options: root the phone or save all movies, audio, pics... to sd card and use all internal mem for apps.

                                Need to get something clarify before i buy a Android phone. Is it true that only "One major flaw in Android is that it won't let you install apps on external memory; only internal memory can be use to install apps "????????

                                  I honestly dont know what ppl are being so negative for, its a great phone.

                                  I got this and my brother got a damned X10 both amazing peices of kit if you ask me.

                                  Admititdley he has a better camera but i can write texts quicker i find and of course have android 2.1 which he has to wait for mwwahahhaha

                                  PS i charged my phone last night and have been up since 7 and my battery is on 45 percent, but hey its a smart phone and ive been messing with it half the day
